Guest Reviews
- Meindert (9/5): Beautiful location with great views, good breakfast. - Beautiful location with great views, good breakfast.
Home Saint Jean let me park my car four days before my stay so we could walk the Congo-Nile Trail. They also arranged a taxi to Gisenyi All was OK
- Heike (5/5): -
- LucaaMancaa (8/5): -
- Mala (8/5): -
- Travis (9/5): Great value, beautiful location - We were greeted by a very friendly member of staff. The room was clean. The views of Lake Kivu are amazing. You are a 15-minute walk from local stores (for snacks and drinks). You can hear neighbors if they are loud and you can smell the smoke (cigarettes) from guests below you.

- Jean-Pol (8/5): Un lieu particulier à découvrir hors du temps. - Le site, les vues exceptionnelles sur le lac Kivu, l’architecture du batiment, la gentillesse du personnel, le rapport qualité-prix. C'est vieillot, mais c'est aussi ce qui fait le charme de l'endroit. Ne changez rien surtout.
- Gunther (8/5): -
- Gabriel (9/5): Ótimo hotel, de frente para o lago. - O atendimento é bom. Todos os funcionários são atenciosos. Nos deram um up grade de quarto grátis por ser nossa primeira vez no hotel. O café da manhá é bom. Wi-fi bom. Estacionamento interno com segurança. O acesso ao hotel é muito ruim. O café da manhã poderia ser mais variado.
- Romain (7/5): - Accueil et personnel au top ! Vue magnifique sur le lac et pas loin du centre pour aller manger dans un buffet. Wifi instable et eau de façon aléatoire dans les sanitaires.
- Steffen (9/5): - Wunderbarer Blick über einen "Fjord" des KivuSees, sehr gutes Essen, auch wenn jedes Gericht mit einer Wartezeit von 45 min in der Karte steht, dafür frisch zubereitet. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich.Eine ungeplante Verlängerungsnacht ohne booking com war 9€ billiger. Die Zimmer über dem Restaurant, so auch meines, sind sehr klein: Doppelbett, kleiner Tisch + Stuhl. WC-Spülung funktionierte nicht, hab das Zimmer problemlos tauschen können.
- ANNIE (8/5): - Prachtig uitzicht vanuit de kamer en het restaurant. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Lekker eten aan zeer democratische prijzen. De badkamer was erg basic en er was amper waterdruk.
- Aime (7/5): -
- Aliraza (9/5): - The service was impeccable. They went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. The food was outstanding at a very good price. Should keep up with a little bit of maintenance like mirrors required in the rooms, flush should be working perfectly etc.
- juli (8/5): The location is exceptional, and creates an environment to be alone or mingle with other travellers. - Unbelievable view and location., clean, easy to findTry the African ginger tea! The hotel is clean, beautiful and simple hotel to bring you calmessWent on a day trip with “Visit lake kivu”

If I stayed longer I would have done every one of the available trips. The rooms are a little rustic but very clean- which is more important to me than having matching taps.
Not too well noise proofed if that’s an issue for you.
- Joseph (8/5): - The views were spectacular. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
- Nigel (7/5): - Views are great.
Single rooms are very basic and bathrooms not great at all.
Double rooms are way better but also there the bathrooms must really improve. The bathrooms are below the standard of the country.
- Andreas (9/5): Superb -
- Richard (8/5): A pleasant stay overall: the views are gorgeous. - Great scenic location overlooking the lake
Tasty food (order in advance to avoid a long wait
A reasonable price The bathroom needs upgrading - cleanliness, odour and water pressure were issues
The bedroom was quite sparse and lacking a seat and bedside lights
Our room as not serviced during our stay
- Nigel (7/5): Good - The double rooms are great, but they should improve the bathrooms
The view is fantastic everywhere The bathrooms are below the national average quality for hotels. They should strongy improve this
- Nigel (7/5): Good - Great view, great location, but bad bathrooms Bathrooms must IMPROVE
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good - Excellent location, stunning scenery. The breakfast was good and plentiful. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable. Bathroom was basic but adequate with reliable hot water during our visit.
- Janne (1/5): Bad -
- Jan (6/5): Pleasant - Location, views, terrace Rooms were super old, long waiting time for food
- Paterne (5/5): Passable -
- Alimas (9/5): We will be back - It was so perfect ! All was good
- Raivo (10/5): Exceptional -
